lyrics

This is just a little bit of laid back soul
The hypocrite's back so I may lack soul
Quite inconsiderate thinking that fast track
Throw back rap chat's crap on the whole
Content abundance chatter a matter of substance abuse
Consonants so constant talking brass eye nonce-sense
I bring gold to your ear and touch with every sentence
Rhyme repentance I hail the medicine man
Million Dan like Hokage plural
Anime reference I trail the pitiful lands
Mud on my hands come back and paint murals
Urban picture perfect earth version of
Worthless dirt that lurks in every person
For certain more water than surface scratches
Retain the flow as I return to ashes

So deep
Can't get no sleep
For me tonight
I stay awake
So deep
Can't get no sleep
For me tonight
Tonight I stay awake

The insomniac speaks
I gave up green and properly lack sleep 'cause of spaced out dreams
I count sheep but found I can't sleep 'cause under damn sheets
I find my mind screams
Nightly come find me I wander round
The underland found 'tween sleep and waking
The slumber bound thundercloud all vacant
Facing each day as I seek awakening
The vagrant undercover agent taking each thought too far
My zone is restless
Pulling a late shift with no spliffs
Eyes open my dream boat's a ghost ship
My mind just speaks at night oh gosh
It's taking me deep tonight I'm so lost
Each time I want peace I find I can't see the light
I'm so sleep deprived

So deep
Can't get no sleep
For me tonight
I stay awake
So deep
Can't get no sleep
For me tonight
Tonight I stay awake

I hide under the covers of the fabric of reality
That tears apart at the seams
And we get lost between the land of the wake and the land of dreams
Where things are never quite what they seem

Really got to get a bit of rhythm
Gotta hit them with a little bit of dreamscape
Sleep take middle of the road like rohypnol flow on your pillow
No average a maverick on task since Willow
No small feat try to sleep with the minnow
Mobbed by the sheep that's me out the window
Cut deeper than six by the number
Daisies I push keep me in a slumber

So deep
Can't get no sleep
For me tonight
I stay awake
So deep
Can't get no sleep
For me tonight
Tonight I stay awake
